Materialists, Past Lives & The Celine Song Debate #155

Hello, Hello, Hello,In this episode, "Past Lives" skeptics Cris (taking Dhruv's place) and Aryan invite "Past Lives" lover-for-life Tuhin Das (@tuhin221b on Twitter) to discuss and check the math(s), as it were, on director Celine Song's latest theatrical release, "Materialists."Listen to the full episode to hear where they agree—and largely disagree—on the effectiveness of Songs's writing and filmmaking choices as she navigates the complexities of modern love and marriage and the (Hollywood) economics behind it all. Spoilers, of course, for "Materialists" (and some for "Past Lives").TIMECODESIntro - [00:00:00 - 00:05:48]Initial Thoughts + Discourse - [00:05:48 - 00:24:20]Debating the Value of "Materialists" - [00:24:20 - 00:53:30]The (Hollywood) Economy - [00:53:30 - 01:25:50]"Past Lives" + Song vs Kuritzkes - [01:25:40 - 01:38:31]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram at:Aryan: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/aryantalksfilm/⁠⁠Cris: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/prdscris/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Letterboxd at:Aryan: ⁠⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/aryantalksfilms/⁠⁠Cris: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/crislim/⁠⁠
